What is the probablity of a newborn having withdrawals?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
High if UR on drugs: Morphine, cocaine, heroin, methadone, certain seizure meds when taken late in pregnancy. Recreational use of any of first three if & when woman knows she is pregnant constitutes serious abuse of the unborn child. My bias is that such children should immediately be made wards of state, mothers must enter compulsory detox & agree to implantation of an iud & be drug tested clean for at least 1 year!
